Emmerich station is a German railway station close to the Dutch border on the Arnhem-Oberhausen railway in the town of Emmerich. It is served hourly by trains operating the Rhein-IJssel-Express between Arnhem and Düsseldorf.
The station is largely used by freight and features both the Dutch and German voltages on most tracks.
